And AchishH397 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “KnowH3045 forH3045 certainH3045 that you will goH3318 outH3318 with me in the campH4264, you and your menH376.” 2DavidH1732 saidH559 to AchishH397, “VeryH3651 wellH3651, you will learnH3045 whatH834 your servantH5650 can doH6213.” So AchishH397 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “Then I will assuredlyH3651 makeH7760 you 2my bodyguardH8104H7218 3for 4lifeH3605H3117!”
